This is the second unit that was on the engine, the first one lasted about 800 miles and then over about 65 miles slowly lost power until I could not
go more than 45mph with my foot to the floor.
Got it towed to Sirum's and Jeff sent the unit back to have it repaired (bad left front injector) They sent it back 3.5 weeks later after replacing
the computer. Jeff had to get them to send him
a couple new injectors and installed them. He was not happy with how it was acting and convinced them to replace the entire unit with a new one. He
installed it and road tested it for about 100 miles
We drove the 216 miles from our house and started to drive home. About 16 miles from home as we were passing the last exit on I-95 before our house it
started losing power and popping when I stepped on the gas
Luckly there was a Flying J at the end of the ramp and I could roll into there. Had to get it towed to my house since the limit on towing for my
roadside assistance is 100 miles.
Spoke to FI-Tech a bunch of times and replaced the O2 sensor and the fuel pump and I am still having issues.
So I am switching back to the Carb. Maybe I will someday try a Sniper once I see they have proved themselves.
